English term or phrase: pound
In my translation I have the word "pound" with two meanings: 1. an avoirdupois unit of weight that is divided into 16 ounces and is equal to 0.453 592 kilograms, and
2. the standard monetary unit of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and various UK overseas territories, divided into 100 pence.
In the dictionaries there are two words पौंड and पाउंड. Which of them correspond to the first and which to the second meaning? Or, if the translation is the same, which of these two words in Hindi is right?
